John Cole makes the point that the Rethuglican apparatus has nothing to gain from countering the obvious lies and smears of its most extreme wingers, from Pills Limpballs to Winky You Betcha. After all, they are not a governance party (see Dumbya); they have no stake in making the Federal government work for everyone, because the focus of their campaigns for the past 40 years have been to run against "Big Government." They believe it's better for them if America is "ungovernable" politically.
Read Cole's post; in a couple of paragraphs, he distills the destructive and cynical Rethug mindset toward Government, the American people, and good politics.
